**INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing DETECTO’s innovative and highly customizable MobileCare medical cart. The MobileCare line of medical carts offers the most advanced security-level features available in the medical cart market and has nearly unlimited configuration possibilities. The MobileCare medical carts are manufactured using an aluminum seamless shell body which is constructed without any exposed holes for flush clean lines and a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. They are available in 10 standard colors and unlimited Pantone and RAL color options. The countertop is a continuous one-piece ABS thermoplastic countertop with molded edges for optimal hygienic clean-up. Spacious soft-close drawers elegantly glide shut for added convenience allowing the drawers to be closed without using any hands. Two selfclosing side extension trays are included as standard for additional workspace. The carts come standard with full wrap-around high-impact bumper trim, which extends beyond the handrails for complete protection. Handrails can be specified for all three sides, two, one, or none. The wheels are 5-in/13-cm diameter 1 or 2-wheel casters with features such as anti-static, total lock, and bead chain for static dissipation which provide easy mobility for smooth transport and nimble maneuvering. Versatile corner extrusion mounting provides easy optional accessory attachment with customized locations. A full range of accessories is available, including IV poles, sharps container holders, defibrillator shelves, cardiac boards, oxygen tank holders, 12-bin organizers, catheter holders, waste bins, and many more.

The carts are made in the USA of American and foreign components and are TAA compliant.

This manual covers the models using a keyed lock for security and the innovative Quick Release unlocking models which use a red/green lock/unlock flag to indicate whether the cart is ready to use or not and breakaway plastic tags to secure the cart. The red/green lock/unlock flag can easily be reset by Biomed techs once the cart has been re-stocked and ready to use.

DISINFECTING YOUR MEDICAL CART

Cleaning versus Disinfecting
The first thing to remember is that cleaning is different from disinfecting. By cleaning, germs and dirt are removed from surfaces, but germs are not killed. Removing them only decreases the number of germs and helps to reduce the risk of spreading infections.

On the other hand, by disinfecting your medical cart you kill viruses and bacteria on surfaces by using chemical products. This process does not necessarily clean dirty surfaces. Killing viruses and bacteria on the surface after cleaning has been done can further decrease the risk of spreading infectious diseases.

With this in mind, you need to conduct regular cleaning of your medical cart, and then disinfect it using an appropriate disinfecting product for the type of surface.

CAUTION: When cleaning and disinfecting, individuals should wear disposable gloves compatible with the products being used as well as any other PPE required according to the cleaning and disinfecting product manufacturer’s instructions.

For Frequently Touched Surfaces
For frequently touched surfaces, such as the push handle and drawer handles, remove visible dirt, then disinfect using alcohol-based wipes containing at least 70% alcohol.

For Hard Non-Porous Surfaces
For hard non-porous surfaces such as the cart body, drawer front, and ABS countertop, clean with a mild detergent or soap and water if the surfaces are visibly dirty, before disinfectant application.

After cleaning, use any of the products contained on the EPA’s List L, List N, or List Q for products to use against the Ebola virus, disinfectants for Coronavirus (COVID-19), or disinfectants for Emerging Viral Pathogens that are suitable for hard non-porous surfaces. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for concentration, application method, and contact time for all cleaning and disinfection products. Click on the links below to proceed to the EPA’s websites to search and view the lists.
List N: Disinfectants for Coronavirus (COVID-19)
List L: Disinfectants for use Against Ebola Virus
List Q: Disinfectants for Emerging Viral Pathogens (EVPs)
Diluted household bleach solutions (prepared according to the manufacturer’s label for disinfection) if appropriate for the surface. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application and proper ventilation. Make sure the product is not past its expiration date.
IMPORTANT! Never mix household bleach with ammonia or any other cleanser.
Alcohol solutions with at least 70% alcohol.

For Soft or Porous Surfaces
For soft or porous surfaces such as the straps on the Oxygen tank holder and defibrillator shelf, clean them with the appropriate cleaners indicated for use on these surfaces.

After cleaning, use any of the products contained on the EPA’s List L, List N, or List Q that are suitable for porous surfaces. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for concentration, application method, and contact time for all cleaning and disinfection products. Click on the links above in the For Hard Non-Porous Surfaces paragraph to view the lists.
